Thomas PREBBLE Obituary

So sad to hear of Tom's passing. Love to all of the family. Elizabeth and Phil Prebble Tasmania, Australia

We were extremely sad to hear that Tom had passed away.

Tom was a member of the Otago Polytechnic Council between 2011 and 2018.

We were very fortunate to have someone of Tom's calibre on the Council, bringing his in depth academic experience in the ITP sector.

Sincere sympathy from management and staff, Otago Polytechnic.

I always valued spending time with Tom. He always provided an insightful take on tertiary education at Massey and beyond with the well-being of students as his first consideration, was a creative thinker, and was a great mate on our various tramping expeditions. Thinking of you all.

To Bonnie and family
Very much saddened to hear today of Tom's passing. I very much valued his wise counsel, support, humour and friendship at Ako Aotearoa. A great educator!
My very best wishes

Thinking of you Bonnie and your family at this sad time.

There must be many, like me, who regret that they did not get to see more of Tom over the years.
